So, we were supposed to go to the rescheduled Phillies vs. Rockies game on Wednesday. If I didn’t already mention it was because of rain + snow on Tuesday [sick]. Wednesday’s weather was also lovely [joke]. Cold. Gloomy. Wet. I was hoping for it to get rained out. Around 6pm it was looking like we were heading down to the stadium, in the sleet + rain. I had about 17 layers on and more in my bag.

This was also in my bag. Dinner at the stadium is just not my cup o’ tea [for many reasons] so I packed this.

Fail. Now you would think vanilla smoothie + strawberries = delicious, however I hadn’t washed these yet…so no go on that! Luckily that glass I chose to poor the smoothie in was too small for the whole smoothie. I drank 1/2 of it right out of the vita-mix. Oh so classy!!!

After washing + consuming all of those berries, I made a delicious omelette! This required no flipping or gooey egg mess.

No Fail Omelet:

in a small sauté pan, cook veggies with a little oil on medium heat

turn heat down to med/low

crack 2 eggs + whisk

pour over veggies

cover pan with lid or foil

cook until egg has cooked through, no stirring required…promise!

slide out of pan, in 1 piece!

The veggies were perfectly spread throughout this mixture. It worked perfectly! I filled it with 1 huge kale leaf and 1 portabella plus uncooked grape tomatoes on top.

LOVE the Ezekiel sprouted wraps.

Easily rolled up!

Smoothie washed + water washed strawberries on the side :) Awesome textures for lunch today!

Kale chips on the side too!

I have another recipe to share that I completely pulled out of my arse and it actually turned out! This was from last night’s dinner. Since we didn’t go to the game we just popped our crazy peanut butter samiches in the fridge, so I could make something a little more well rounded.

Man was this easy.

1-2-3 Pasta Sauce!

1, 28oz can, peeled whole tomatoes [drain 1 cup of the liquid]

2 medium garlic cloves

2T olive oil

~1/4t salt [to taste]

pepper to taste

1-2t sucanat or pure cane sugar

1T tomato paste

2t oregano

2t basil

1t thyme

Heat a large pot over medium with about 2T olive oil.

While heating, give the tomatoes a quick chop.

Add tomatoes + juice [minus 1c of liquid] to the pot. Careful, it will spatter!

Add all seasonings + tomato paste.

Bring to a strong simmer but not quite boiling.

Let cook for about 10-15min, stirring once in awhile.

Turn the heat down to a light simmer and cook until desired thickness is reached.

The liquid cooks off and you are left with a very flavorful, hearty pasta sauce. I love the large chunks of maters! We ate whole wheat pasta and sauce, with local organic spinach and a little bread on the side. I was eating this sauce like it was a side dish. SO good. If it’s too acidic add a little more sugar while cooking. Taste as you go!

My next flavor. Gingerberry!! This tasted exactly like the name describes. I really liked it! I also love that there are only 4g of sugar per serving, none of which are added sugars.

I want to thank all of you for the amazing response about the issues surrounding non-organic strawberries. You guys are awesome! I loved reading all of your thoughts on this topic.

The more we can spread the word –> the more people will buy organic –> increasing demand –> eventually lowering the cost of organics!

Your oats always look so yummie that I always crave some but when the morning comes (and I'm able to make some oats) yogurt wins always!! Dang!! I really need to come and visit you!! ;) One more reason!!Ooh and the omelet looks exactely like the ones I made throughout the winter on tuesdays at my mom's!! YUM!!! Have to do this again sooon!!! ;D

Just all the more reason you need to come and visit PA and see a Phillies game at Citizen Bank Park. They have the BEST FOOD!!! Veggie Burgers, amazing cheesesteaks and the best veggie hoagie from Planet Hoagie! I feel like I get more excited for the food then the game sometimes! :)

Is it sad that when I was little, I used to look forward to going to Coor's Field and getting my hands on the stadium food? Greasy hotdogs, huge pretzels, weird fake cheese nachos...I thought all that stuff was the best! Now, I would be hard pressed to choose any of that stuff. It's scary to think how processed it all is. I'm sooooo glad my eating style has changed since those days. Lord knows what actually is in stadium food; I'd rather bring my own! :)

Oooh, I want to do an omelet wrap like that. It looks so yummy :D Oh, about the strawberries... I posted the link you posted on facebook and the result was great. Everyone said they wont be buying strawberries anymore, whether they wait for local or buy organic I don't know, but either is better!

That is one tasty looking sandwich! Stadium food is so hit or miss. Every now and then you can find something moderately healthy that seems appealing, but mostly it is just an overpriced miss. I paid $9 for a beer once!

I ALWAYS ate a stadium hot dog...Kosher at least...and definitely popcorn + cotton candy or icecream. It was fun then and I have the memories, but don't miss it at all when I'm back at the stadium. I would probably go into sugar shock if I ate cotton candy now!

the french toast probably would have worked out if you baked it! I won a recipe contest when I was in high school and it was french toast gone bananas .... and I baked it inside was pb and grape slices + honey....then on the side of it was a banana mash. I need to find the recipe to give you!

You really have me wanting to pick up some ezekiel wraps when I get back mmm...also, I didn't get to comment yesterday but I am all about the organic strawbs. I hope I conveyed the importance to my parents as well...we need to support local! the nut butter's just keep sounding better and better!

[...] 5pm, I quickly [seriously this took 5 minutes] added ingredients into the slow cooker, for my homemade red sauce. I’ve never tried it in the slow cooker, but knew it could be done. And let me tell [...]
